Maché Lettuce is of the cupping-type variety, characterized by its loaf shape and long narrow leaves. Leaf color will vary from pale green to white along the rib structure to full green on the ends of the leaves. Signs that you have a good product will be high bleaching (an abundance of white) over dark green, while Internal leaves will have a hint of yellow. Lettuce hearts may show some darker outer leaves during the winter months, but this is completely normal.

Storage
– Store immediately in the coldest part of the walk-in cooler. Mache lettuce is very susceptible to damage from heat in the kitchen. Heat damage will cause the leaves to become limp.
– Store on the lowest shelf due to the heavy weight of the case.
– Keep mache lettuce in the original sealed packaging and away from drafts to limit the effects of dehydration from the cooler fans. Store away from ethylene-producing fruits. Ethylene can cause russet spotting on the midribs of the product.
Handling
– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.
Preparation
– Prep only enough mache for immediate usage. Try not to carry over prepped product from the previous day.
– Avoid placing the case or raw product on counter tops to help prevent the potential for cross contamination.
– Always use sharp knives to prep. Cutting with dull knives cause excessive cell damage and hasten browning.
– Remove wilted, damaged, bruised or discolored leaves and discard before washing.
– Store prepared product in the refrigerator.
